A RailuIe NIL Around.

YanktOn Press: The callow youth
who strings words together for the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader certainly
cannot expect the newspapers of Dako-
ia to occupy time and space replying to
his nonsense. When he threatened to
go over to Mitchell and pound the edit
or of the Republican if he didn't shut
up we began to hope that an editorial
failure might yet develop into slug
ger, but even this was only a brief in
spiration and has already evaporated.

EX-GOv Pierce in the Pioneer Press:
The wives of many of the members
accompanied them to Big Stone and
added interest and pleasure to tho gath
ering. Among the members were many
musicians of surprising excellence, and
the evenings We're made very enjoyable
by songs and instrumental music. And
what is true of the Dakota women gen.
orally is especially noticeable in the
wives of Dakota editors They are in
telligent, accomplished and cosmopoli-
tan in their manner and appearance.

Pierre Press: A few papers con-
tinue to hit Delegate Clifford for his ac-
tion in appointing a cadet to West
Point, but why should they? There is
no question as to the fitness of the ap-
pointee, and then the Delegate has an
unquestioned right to make such ap-
pointment, and direct appointments
are generally more satisfactory than
through examinations. a member
once stated to the writer that if he left
the cadetship to be filled by competitive
examination, the examining board al
ways got a friend in and he had con-
cluded to dispense with examinations
and take the credit and assume the re-
sponsibility of his action. 1t is pre-
sumed that Clifford looked at the mat
ter in the same light.

A Departure.

In closing an article on the passing away
of a beloved and time honored citizen, The
Yokeberg Whirlwind says: "We do not think
that we exaggerate when we say that the fu-
neral was very sad" 1t seems that lively
funerals have been the rule in that commu-

The contrast is so great the farmers
throughout Lincoln county and the
Sioux valley will read with interest the
state of affairs laid bare by a local
paper in Wisconsin relative to the
drought, prairie fires, ruined crops,
etc There is All area of perhaps 49,
600 acres square miles in the north
west where the dust lies heavily upon
the earth The district is bounded by
Madison on the north, Bloomington on
the south, Lake Michigan on the east
and the Mississippi river on the west.
1t is within the limits of these boun-
daries that vegetation has lost its nor
NAL color and the earth its moisture.
1t has been nearly ten weeks since
a soaking rain fell in this district.
The big bull thistle the pest of near
ly every farm has at last succumbed
to the fate of all other vegetation.
In southern Wisconsin there are
thousands of acres where corn will
not yield peck to the acre The
crop has been scorched and almost
totally destroyed.
Wells have run dry, and in some
towns water famines are imminent.
The drinking water at hand is often
polluted and filled with poisonous
germs. Typhoid fever is becoming
more prevalent, and dysentery and
other stomach disturbances are so
common in some places as to be al
most epidemic. The intense heat has
been terrible strain upon man, but
it's effect upon cattle has been simply
appalling The poor beasts have be-
come so emaciated as to be wholly un-
marketable. The farmers in the dairy
districts have in some instances been
compelled to feed and water their
cows from their own larder. In other
places forest trees have been felled
and dragged to the pastures and the
cattle turned loOes to browse upon the
leaves. At Winslow. H., one farmer
bought ten head of cattle last January
at $50 per head. When he offered to
sell the entire herd last week for 500,
he could not find purchaser. In
some places fences have been
rur through corntields and the starry
ing cattle permitted to feed upon the
leaves and stalks. When these have
been eaten the fences are extended
until the entire fields have been eaten
clean. The tall grass Of the prairie is
dead, the fields are ready to burst into
flame and leaves lie in heaps in the
forest. y spark starts fire and the
blistering Sahara-like wind fans the
flame into conflagration. Already
the land encompassed by the bound
aries has been blackened by wild fires.
Thousands of acres have been swept
by the flames in eastern Wisconsin and
the loss to farmers i'll hay, grain, fenc-
ing and buildings is very great.
Above Madison the bogs are burning
liercely, and the pungent smoke hangs
over the country Cor miles around.
The northern Illinois fires are so nu-
merous that the farmers have plowed
the ground about their buildings in Or
der to check the spread of the flames.
In some parts of the district the
drought is so terrible that butternuts
and walnuts have fallen from the
trees. Potatoes, when taken from
their beds of ashes. look like crab ap-
pies. They are wrinkled and springy
and unfit for food. There is also a
great scarcity of milk owing to the
inability of COWS to find nutritious
food.

Sore Eyes

y
The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful IN.
flammatiOn in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years, BY tho
advice of a physician l commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparlla After using this
medicine Short time l was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and 1 am as we'll and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
For number of years I was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi.
cine has effected complete euro, and
believe it to be tho best Of blood puri-
fiers.-C, Z, Upton, Nashua, N. II.
From childhood, and until with few
months, I have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. l have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. - Mrs. e. Phillips,
Glover, VT
I suffered for year with intamma.
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me OF sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final
~ induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of intlamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. = Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was atlict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light Of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On tho rcCommcn-
dation of friend purchased bottle Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. w. Z. Suther-

time it was almost impossible to sell
real estate on the flats. For days peo-
pie reached their houses by boats only,
and were compelled TO remove all their
stores from their cellars. Every owner
of realty was sick then, and real estate,
if sold at all, was parted with at so much
a gallon. This was not long ago
either. A few years cover the
time. While these unfavOrable
circumstances prevailed and people over
there were discouraged, j. w. McClung
had good deal of confidence but not
much money. He bought number of
lots for which he agreed to pay $50 per
lot. A small payment was made on
them and in after time he managed, by
hook and by crook, to pay the balance.
These lots were in Marshalfs addition
on the fiat. A few days ago MessrS.
Davis IL Brown offered him $4,000 for
fifteen of these lots, which was most de-
cidedly refused. These very lots and
many others like them on those same
flats, that could not be given away, are
now held as being among the very best
property in st. Paul.

Seventy-four lots in the
above addition, situated on
st. Clair street, Lydia,
Grace, Lancing, Jefferson
streets, and close to Ham
line avenue. This elegant
residence property lies per-
feet and is only two blocks
from st. Clair and Short
Line addition. st. Clair
street has a great future
and will be one Of the pref
tiest residence streets be-
tween the cities. Seven
reasons why investors in
real estate will do we'll to
attend to this sale:
First---It will be sold with
out limit.
Second---The terms will
be one-third cash and the
balance one and two years.
Third---The property is
beautiful, situated between
the two great cities, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, with
the combined population Of
$4,000 people, and the
natural increase in popula-
ton will make this property
very valuable for residence
purposes.
Fourth--The Short Line
of the Northwestern rail
road will run within one
block from the beautiful
park.
Fifth---All property be-
tween the two grand cities
will positively advance very
rapidly.
Sixth---It is the best op-
portunity for a sure and
safe investment that will be
offered this year.
Seventh---It will be sold
in blocks, half-blocks or
single lots to suit all.
The only reason for plac-
ing this property on the
market at auction is that it
is owned by a syndicate,
one of whom leaves for
Europe in thirty days, and
this property must be sold
and a division made of the
proceeds by that time. Go
out and look this property
over carefully. You will
find red stakes on every lot
to be sold. The greatest
opportunity that you will
have for a long time to make
as profitable an investment.
Plats at our Office any time
after Monday next. Free
hacks will leave our office
on day of sale at 2 o'clock
p. m. sharp.
